    They talk about how bad Lebron was. How many games will Harden shoot only 10 shots in a game while playing full minutes. The beauty of this is we do still have two bigs on our roster and they are up to playing well for the few games we will need them

    First off, concerning rebounding...

    The Rockets were 9-1 without Capela and in those 10 games the Rockets overall had a +6 in rebounding. The Rockets were out rebounded badly in 2 games. In both those games the Rockets did not play Hartenstein.


    In those 10 games, the one loss was the game without Harden or Westbrook.

    And even Tyson Chandler can contribute when he's playing 5 minutes over a 5-game span.

    The biggest take away for me was that Nick Wright was really just pretending to be bald all this time

    Haters will hate and their minds won't change, we all know by now. Nick is right about the postseason when teams will have time to design their playbook around Rockets. Right now, it's a shock factor for the opposing team because it's "new" and different. I'll be the one to say it, Harden taking fewer shots has resulted in greater ball movement, and to me, THAT will be the key for our success in the playoffs. Not the Harden taking fewer shots, but the greater ball movement part. Harden needs to get back to his efficient self again on the offensive side, but resort to ISO only when needed.

    Harden shooting 10 shots is somehow a negative when we win. Can you imagine this media in 93-95 when Maxwell used to chuck away and Olajuwon had plenty of average nights...

    Capela has been dealing with a heel injury for some time now. I think the record without Capela is misleading but I do think moving Capela makes sense.

    The talking heads want the center to be relevant so badly. This isn't 1994 anymore.

    Talk to Silver and ask him to make hook shots from 5 feet be worth 3 points.
